About OpenDengue



The OpenDengue project aims to build and maintain a database of dengue case counts for every dengue-affected country worldwide since 1990. We collate data from a range of publicly available sources including ministry of health websites, peer-reviewed publications and other disease databases. Learn more about the project or our methods

In this first release (V1) we only include data from North America, South America and the Caribbean, but data from Asia (V2) and the rest of the world (V3) will be included over the coming months.

We are continually adding new data to the OpenDengue repository. If you are aware of publicly available data that we have not yet found, please contribute or get in touch.

Potential uses

OpenDengue draws together and standardises data from multiple sources that enable new analyses at global and regional scales. Examples include:
- Identifying worst affected areas and years
- Understanding drivers of transmission such as climate factors and interventions
- Predicting future trends and outbreak risk

Summary of data coverage

Our goal at the OpenDengue project is to fill as many of these gaps as we can. If you know of any publicly available data sources for any of the grey or light coloured countries or years in the above figures please contribute or get in touch.
